AHH!! how come?!?!?!  doesnt seem fair... :D

Well, if I remember correctly, 12.30 became 2.30 at the dyno day for you, and we don't want you to miss any time thrashing that car of yours around the track:p

Plus one more. My mate in his 200SX (DEREK) can come, and maybe another friend in his Cosworth Mercedes.

Good news , Derek works in the entertainment industry, so if we all bring cameras and get some joy footage, then he will be able to compile it into a pretty professional vid for us Skyline owners.

c what we can do guys

but most likely i will be going for lap times this track day. the gtr is currently undergoing the cheapst handeling modes in the world (still will have standard suspension) to make it a 10* faster through the corners

should sound abit nastier cause someone has a side pipe now lol

but yea assuming the mods work out a treat its drift time

and we have more power now as well so 3rd and 4th gear drift is back yea baby

ohh baby

pete

the 180 got full koni adjustables today and strut braces are coming next week.

i have a bad feeling i am gonna get tonnes of brake fade! :)

also - its my birthday that day, i have requested a freebie, but nobody seems to have acknowledged it! :)

Oops :(

I just realised that I'm planning on going to the drags the night before at EC, so I'd have to wake up super early to change the wheels to make it for this trackday...

I'll have to see how I go... Lots of stress on my poor car too :D

Wine Red cars not allowed !!!    Speshly ones with big FMICs, ricey water spray system, blue neons at the back and 10" subs rolling around in the boot !!  

Okay, BASTARDO! :D :D :)

Dam...gah...shi....fuc...beotc....gah!!!!!

Yeah i spose you're right!

7 it is.

Well I wont let you share my shiny new rubber, fresh from a local racing series. Brutes control tyre anyone? No? AHHAHAHAHAHA....

2RISMO's CHECKLIST FOR THE 18th:

1/ Remove subs and amp etc from boot.

2/ Strap on shiny new, no you cant have any cos you're all doody-heads, rubber.

3/ Now that it's all tuned, pump it full of Nulon and 98 octane Evolution from my favourite little 7-11.

4/ Chuck it on the trailer behind F-Truck muscle

5/ Set alarm nice and early so I dont miss any of it YOU SARCASTIC BAST#RDS!!! :(

So I was 2 hours late to an event that i organised... Would you have preferred i hadn't organised it in the first place?

I'll be there driving alternate laps with a mate fo mine who's all sad that his Group A is for sale and undriveable.

Can't wait,

Adrian

All,

Sorry I have not been on line for about 2 months, but I have had lots of distractions. Work has been flat out and we moved into our new house about 6 weeks ago and I have not had time to do sh!t except try and make it look like a home before Xmas.

Well I am a 50% chance of coming for a few hours on the 19th. I dislocated my shoulder playing touch and I am still having trouble raising my right arm, so driving is a little painful.

I have not had time to wash my car in the last 3 months, except for that wedding Zane and I did about 3-4 weeks ago, so my car is not really ready, for staters I need new tyres before venturing out onto the black horizon.

Or I could just spend the day drifting and send my tyres to the after life. What I might do is get the tyres striped and rotated so I actually have some rubber on my outside tyre walls, that should see the poor old yoka's to there grave. As testament to the tyre quality of those Yoka A Specs, I have done 42,000 KM and 10 trackdays and 1 cams licence 2 day, and they are still going hard. I lit them up in the wet weather the other day and I still could not get them to let go for more than a 1/2 a second.

Anyway, I should be cool for a few sessions depending on how I go at work. If its quiet I will see you early, if not catch you all later on in the day.

Fatz,

I will bring your boost up kit so try and see if you can have the money on the day, if not I’m sure we can work something out.

P.S. I have $300 worth of oil cooling pipework and connectors for a front mount oil cooler if any one wants them.

What do you need, a $300 oil cooler, $20 sandwich plate and my piping and connectors. I did it on my car but the guy charges me $450 for custom pipework, so I have this stuff left over. If any one is interested in protecting their car please send me a PM.

Hey Merli,

I've been thinking about giving the skyline a run, do you want to post an event and get a bit of a crowd along, (or are you trying to keep this quiet?:) )

Duncan, you're more than welcome to come and do some runs with me! :) As is anyone else, but I didn't really want to advertise it, it's nothing special really... Those who like drag racing, know to check the Eastern Creek website to see when they're on...

If you wanted to make an Event post about it, go for it though ;)

hey Duncan - what kind of Silvia is that?!?

and thanks - you're all heart! :(

I may also come to the creek and watch the night before too, but i dont think i can get the night off! :(

    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
